HiPure Plant RNA Midi Kit

The HiPure Plant RNA Midi Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from plants, cell, tissues, and yeast using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 1mg RNA. There is no need for phenol / chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or precipitation with isopropanol or LiCl. RNA purified using the RaPure Total RNA Purification System can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection, and in vitro translation.

Principle
The Kit isolates total RNA from up to 1g plant tissue. A short workflow enables RNA isolation with genomic DNA removal in less than 40 min. Samples are first lysed and homogenized. The lysate is passed through a DNA Mini column, ethanol is added to the flow-through, and the sample is applied to a RNA column. RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away. High-quality RNA is eluted in as little as 400µl water using the Kit.

Advantages
• Efficient removal of DNA - unique genomic DNA removal column without DNase treatment
• High quality - high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast - medium isolation of several samples can be completed in 40 minutes
• Safe - no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive - RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
• Broad spectrum - various types of plant samples can be processed by diversity of operating procedures
